How to launch Spring Boot app from another Maven module? - java

I got a project which consists of two modules.
The first one is Spring Boot REST Web Service
And the second one is the code that should work with this service.
The issue: I need to start Web Service from another module from the code.
Of course, the best option here is to deploy Service to some remote host, but what are the options if I want to launch Service on the local machine?
The first idea was packaging Service module, then copying jar to the second module using maven-dependency-plugin and launching it as:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java -jar my-rest-service.jar");
Can I start Spring Boot app right from another module? Call Application.main() method or something?

You can build and install first module into your local maven repository (.m2 folder by default) as the jar library. Then you can use this library in your second module as the maven dependency.
After that you can start your application (second module) as usually spring-boot starts - with the main method.
Example:
First module - library:

The Spring Boot Maven plugins package our application as executable JARs – such a file can't be used in another project since class files are put into BOOT-INF/classes.
In order to share classes with another project, the best approach to take is to create a separate jar containing shared classes, then make it a dependency of all modules that rely on them.
So in your spring boot module, you need to add classifier like:
...
<build>
...
<plugins>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<classifier>exec</classifier>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
and of course, you need to add your spring boot module dependency in your pom where you want to use then you should be able to use Application.java.
Please check here: Using a Spring Boot Application as a Dependency.

How to run my maven project (angular+springboot) on tomcat?

I have created a web application based on angular 8 and spring boot. I implemented the codebase locally and it is working fine.
My Angular code(client) is running on localhost:4200 and spring boot(server) is running on localhost:8080.
Till here everything is working as expected.
Now I want to deploy this whole web application as a single bundle so that I can deploy it as a single war on tomcat.
I am creating the war file using maven.
But when I deploy this war file on tomcat and start the tomcat I am not able to see the expected login page on the browser.
Basically, I don't have much understanding of maven and was following resource available in below link on the internet to generate the war file.
https://dzone.com/articles/building-a-web-app-using-spring-boot-angular-6-and
So I am not able to figure out whether the issue is with my build or the URL through which I am trying to access the resources.
if I deploy only the UI build, then if I hit localhost:8080, I am able to see the login page.
I am having three pom files as mentioned in the tutorial.
1. parent-pom
2. server-pom
3. ui-pom
Below are my pom files

Just to ensure whether my code structure is correct or not I am posting a screenshot of my Project Explorer in Eclipse.
Use ng build –prod command for generating production build artifacts.
Run this command in your UI project folder.
Post generation of production build you should see new folder named ‘dist’.
You have to use Maven resource plugin to package as single jar. As i can see you already have the plugin in you pom, just verify the directory folder to pint to dist folder.
After this just run maven clean install . After running this you should see jar with both Angular 6 & Spring Boot application on the target folder.
Execute with Java –jar command to launch the application, you should see the Angular application served from static folder.
You can use frontend-maven-plugin for kicking off your frontend build. Once the frontend build is completed, it will generate the resource files in dist directory.
After that you can use the maven-resources-plugin to copy the files from dist to the required location in the target directory.

Multi module maven project not being deployed on OpenShift (S2I)

I'm working on a maven multi module application, which consists of two modules:
Common
Webapp
My project structure is as follow:
-(root)pom
-Common
-Webapp
We're using openshift web console with S2I (source to image) deploy. The image that we choose is Jboss Eap. After providing git repository, Openshift starts to create required resources. It successfully compile and install our modules using maven, however it does not deploy it on standalone folder for Jboss. Looking at the build log, we can check all dependencies being retrieve and BUILD SUCCESS at end of log. But no artifact deployed on image jboss folder. We can confirm this either by looking at the log or using console to check pod files.
This project is on bitbucket

Does anyone manage to achieve this?
There is a better way I think, which is to use the openshift profile in your web pom. This goes back to the way it was done in V2. In the openshift profile, which will get invoked during the build, copy the .war file into the deployment directory. The only difference I noticed was the deployments directory was named target instead of webapps, but I didn't do any detailed test since target seems to work. E.g.:
<profiles>
<profile>
<!-- When built in OpenShift the openshift profile will be used when invoking mvn. -->
<!-- Use this profile for any OpenShift specific customization your app will need. -->
<!-- By default that is to put the resulting archive into the deployments folder. -->
<!-- http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-building-for-different environments.html -->

I end up using maven-antrun-plugin to copy war into jboss standalone folder.

Running a executable JAR with external dependencies

I'm building a java service which has two distribution. Each distribution must be build different (one has a spring-boot embedded jetty server inside, the other not). In both, I created a distribution with dependencies, except one (already achieved). The jar without jetty is build using maven-assembly-plugin (similarly as here Problems running executable jar with dependencies) the other one uses spring-boot-maven-plugin (see http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/maven-plugin/usage.html). My issue is the external dependencies.
I want add an additional dependency on runtime, but I DON'T WANT TO US OSGi
In both building process the result is a 'executable' jar, which I can run like this:
java -jar my.jar
But I don't know how to address the additional dependencies. If I run the command above without a the external dependency (lets say external.jar) inside my.jar will fail, even if is in the same folder. I can make it work for the distribution without jetty like this:
java -classpath "./*" my.main.App
But this doesn't work for my-with-jetty.jar. I also try to run:
java -classpath "./*" -jar my-with-jetty.jar
This simply doesn't work.
So my question are:
is it possible to pack a jar with almost all the dependencies for both cases?
is it possible to pack the jar as runnable jar such that it not necessary to provide the main class?
of course if yes, how? I would like to run both distribution in the same manner.
I want similar behavior:
java -cp "./*" java -jar my.jar conf.cfg
and
java -cp "./*" java -jar my-rest.jar conf.cfg
Thank you.
You need at least 3 maven projects all under the same parent so they get built together and have the same version. All your code will be in the shared project, this will be included in both runnable jar projects. Each runnable jar project will be build differently.
Your parent pom will be something like :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Change file system of Eclipse for procedure/support of "New Web dynamic project"

I want to change file system of Eclipse for change "support" or "User interface" (UI) of New Dynamic WEB Project.
I have Windows 7 but I am interested also on Linux.
Should be easy change file system in Linux and not in Windows.
What do I would to change?
In Eclipse, I press NEW-> Dynamic Web Project, put the name and press Next.
We have, in default, this window:
Now I have to remove src folder and put new folders src\main\java and src\main\resource.
So I will have a folder "Source Folders" of Maven project because I will convert in it.
So the result is:
- Why not do New Maven Project so I will have these directory
java resource.
Why I not like the pom.xml of new Maven Project that is in default:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

</configuration>
</plugin>

</build>
</project>
For me like too the second pom.xml and not get error of miss plugin maven.
So today I've got an idea:
Why not change the program files (say inside folder Eclipse) and change line of folder " Source
Resource"?
So I will have the new default windows (see second image) in every time when I create Dynamic WEB Project.
I hope the title is correct.

Maven web module not running from inside Eclipse

I have configure Maven Multimodule project and when i am doing
mvn clean install
It is Creating War and Jar files for both the modules in the parent project and when i am deploying war file in Tomcat6 it is working fine.
But when i am trying to run the web module from inside eclipse .
Right Click on project->Run on Server ->Selected Tomcat as a Server
Then Project not working .
The Web Module is depended on the java project which is also a part of Multimodule project so i added dependency of this(Java) project into my web project but in web project Java build path not containing this dependency .Can anyone know how can i resolve this issue with eclipse?
As i saw in eclipse's
workspace_maven.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\web\WEB-INF\lib
i did not found the Java project here .But when i am doing
mvn clean install
and deploying that war in Tomcat the /WEB-INF/lib directory containing my Java Project jar file.
My Web Module Pom.xml file...

You should need the apache maven plugin
The goal should be like tomcat:run
It will download the new instance of tomcat in your target folder and deploy your war on that tomcat.
You can set all the setting for that tomcat or can refer the setting XML in the configuration tag of the plugin.
You can run it as debug mode and all the changes can be seen on the fly. (Java, JSP files only. no XML and properties)
for your help I am adding a code that would help you in running the tomcat server and deploy the WAR when you install the web module.
The application will be installed in tomcat 5 and on the root context.
You can access it on URL: http://localhost:8080/
